I Don't Believe in Gravity But I Still Fall Off the Roof article | 21 May 2018Inherit the Wind should not be a timeless reminder of the importance of free speech. We should have grown up by now. But free speech was kicked in the crotch a few weeks ago. Camus wonders have we reached peak sensitivity? Rude words warning…

Slarek gets firmly back into the reviewing saddle with a woefully late celebration of Arrow Video's second dual format box set of early films from one of Japan's most celebrated maverick directors, and knows for sure now that he'll have to go back and get the first.

Roger Corman's first film for a major studio is a surprisingly and impressively accurate recounting of events leading up to one of the most notorious mass murders in American gangland history. Slarek revisits one of Corman's best, which looks lovely on Indicator's new Blu-ray.

Marvel movie no.19 in 10 years. On the whole, it’s been fun with humour and action deftly distributed throughout each outing. Joss Whedon kick-started the whole Avengers initiative and the Russo brothers have brought everyone together for the third. Camus tries to keep track.

If some cinema is an acquired taste, then welcome to Michelangelo Antonioni, an Italian master with a few English-speaking classics under his belt. Camus takes on the third of his English-speaking, MGM trilogy, The Passenger on Indicator’s new Blu-ray.

John Mills plays a bullish Scotland Yard detective who travels to a rural English town to help solve a murder in John Guillermin's unevenly structured but intriguing drama.

Albert Finney heads a delightful cast in Stephen Frears' gloriously witty if slightly problematic feature debut. Slarek delights in the film's many virtues on Indicator's typically fine Blu-ray, and ruminates on the barrier to total engagement created by the lead character's flip racism.
